let's stop all the talk and actually come together as a group and do 
something productive (for a change.)  why not start a label consisting 
of idm posters/lurkers?  we can pool our money, and choose the 
releases based upon vote.  (democratic enough, right?)  if we can get 
enough people to pitch in, i reckon it would be pretty cheap to press 
up a few hundred vinyl.  the thing is, we'd have to pick a 
*trustworthy* individual to handle the money and relavent matters.  
that's where it becomes complicated, as it seems everyone is busy 
these days blasting someone else for ripping them off.  too bad, it's 
a nice idea.  we could sollicit demos and maybe even digitize them and 
put them up on the web for those who pitched in money to checkout and 
listen to and vote for their favorite artist/s.  the format could 
consist of a compilation, or it could be more simple, just a 12" for 
starters.  if some of you spent as much time reading and posting to 
idm as trying to actually put something good out, well shit, we'd 
actually have something.  i think it's time to try to think of ways to 
resurrect this list, here's my idea for starters.  as always, love
